How They Bake Beans in Boston.

From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette
A French cook isn't worth snap on
baked beans and if the proprietors of our
leading fashionable hotels are not careful the
priceless, time-honored, hitherto undsputed
glory of Boston baked beans will have de-
parted. Beans in the leading hotels of Bos-
ton, we blush to hear repeatedly, are not
"half baked" Our good old grandmothers
knew more about cooking our national
dishes than all the French cooks in the
world, and, to the shame of leading Boston
hotels be it said, a stranger must gain adj
mission to our private residences if he would
know what Boston baked beans" really are
and should be- The old ladies aforesaid
soaked the beans in cold water during Friday
night. On Saturday morning they changed
the water, and parboled them gently for
two hours. They then gave them a good
rinsing. and put them in pot with a good
sized piece OF salt pork, with streak of lean
in it. They then baked the beans slowly
during the day, and suffered them to remain
in the oven through Saturday night, taking
care to have plenty Of water in the pot dur
ing the process of cooking. On Sunday,
whether for breakfast, or lunch or evening
lunch, the baked beans became "a feast for
the gods"

SHE MET DIR. HOLMES.
A Young L ady from the South Who
Wanted to Know the Yankee Poet.

Wanted to Know the Yankee Poet.
From the Washington Herald
A Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune tells the following pleasant
story of a lady well known here: "Dr.
Holmes is an immense favorite throughout
the South, as Miss Page, the sister of Mrs.
Thomas Bryan, of your city, once uncon-
sciously told him, She was visiting another
sister, who is the wife of a professor at Har-
ward. and, at a gathering of the literati,
heard some one say DR.. Holmes was present.
where is her she asked with enthusi-
aSn, do show me"
Il do not see him. said the little gentle
man, TO whom she was speaking. He was a
very little gentleman, with a face like a
winter apple, a pair of twinkling brown
eyes and merry smile, but his name she
had not heard.
oh" she said, 81 am 50 anxious to meet
him. You know he is such favorite in the
South"
Indeed, he answered, evidently greatly
surprised. 81 thought Yankee principles
and Yankee literature were just the reverse
of popular"
She smiled her own brilliant smile.
Perhaps you are not altogether wrong,
but of this | can assure you, no Southern
gentleman's library is considered complete
without the 'Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table,
He positively colored up and looked con-
fused and just then some one laid hand on
his shoulder and SAIL

But Miss Page, through her blushes, told
him:
1T is all true, and you must accept the
compliment au pied de la lettre, for did not
know to whom spoke"

Both Killed in a Duel.
E.om the Pittsbura Dispatch.

MORRISON, Col, Nov. 20.-A desperate
duel, IN which both combatants were killed,
occurred on a ranch eighteen miles from
here yesterday. Three years ago Alexander
Gloss bought a ranch from John Everhart.
He failed to meet the payments, and last
spring Everhart turned the ranch over to
Richard Ginnold, and ordered Gloss to leave.
Gloss refused, and the two men have been
living at swords points
Yesterday they quarrelled over a fence,
and Gloss proceeded to Ginnolds house,
armed with revolver. Ginnold came to
his door, and as he did so Gloss shot him
in the breast Ginnold's brother-in-law
handed Ginnold a shotgun, and thus armed
the wounded man staggered out to meet his
foe. Gloss fired again, but the shot did not
take effect, and Ginnold, in return, fired
the contents of both barrels of the shotgun
into Gloss's stomach. He fell to the ground,
but not before, had fired two more bullets
into Grinnold's body.
The families of both men had been eye
witnesses to the dreadful affair, and when
both men fell they were taken care of by
their respective families. Gloss died in a
few minutes. Ginnold lived few hours.

NEARLY one hundred clergymen re-
sponded to the call issued by some of
the leading pastors of the city of New
York and Brooklyn, asking for con-
ference to discuss the action of the Con-
vention of German societies at Albany,
over the Sunday liquor law. The cler-
gymen represented many denomina-
tions. DR.. John Hall was appointed
chairman. The meeting was opened
with prayer by DR.. Macarthur of the
Calvary Baptist church. A Committee
was appointed to draft resolutions. The
Committee to carry out the plan pre-
scented in the resolutions is thoroughly
representative consisting of an Episco-
palian, Baptist, Methodist, Dutch
Reformed, Universalist and Luther
an. Similar meetings have been held
in Albany and Buffalo, in which Ro-
man Catholic priests took prominent
part. The question of Sunday observ-
ance seems to arouse all religious classes
and to unite them as nothing else ever
has.
